I was a 10 year old boy once who really loved football, and to think here was a kid just like the most of us and to put your trust in this coach, and other adults, well its just a little sad that people who knew better just didn't care, but they care now? Too late, you see a child being raped and you run and tell your dad? Joe leaving was the only option.

Paterno is not judge, jury, executioner.

 

he told the higher ups and it was their responsibility to do the right thing.

 

Should a cop be fired if his superior doesnt do the right thing?

 

Better question should the cops be fired for the DA not prosecuting in 98?

Yes, EVERYONE knows who runs the show there. EVERYONE. It's not even close to saying Cal runs UK. Get back to me in 40 years when Cal is still the coach, and then we can talk. That's an awful comparison.

 

He said he reported it, and that was it.

 

What's absolutely ridiculous is people are actually defending him.

 

Of course, using your logic, if someone told you that they had seen your child being molested, you wouldn't go to the police, because it was hearsay. Anything short of not going to the police is dispicable.

 

I love when you change the situations and throw in some exaggeration to try and win an argument. :lol: If someone told me it was my child, then I'd acta as a PARENT. Totally different situation.

That explains everything...

 

You can think less of me for my job all you want, fact is I help people every day that are innocent. I help a lot more that are guilty, but in my line of work all I do is ensure that the system treats them fairly and their constitutional rights aren't violated along the way to their punishment for their crimes. But, at the end of the day I do know cops hold a lot of the power with DA's in almost every plea entered, the cop had to agree to the terms of it.

He was 28 at the time, not free pass in that area.

 

Not asking for one, simply pointing out the circumstances which could cause him to discuss the matter with his father first. I think it was reasonable, even at 28.

22 or 23 is old enough to know that the police should be involved.

 

True, still a tough position to be in at 28 (which is apparently how old he was).

There is an ugly rumor out that more allegations against Sandusky are coming and they're worse than the original charges and involve other adults.

 

I hope it's not true.

Have heard that he was pimping the children from his charity out to rich donors....Like you, hoping it's not true.

Source? Any news outlets, another message board, where is this coming from?

Wow. I hope that's not true. You are referring to Sandusky right?

That's the one.

We will have one soon enough... It's a rumor at this point.

 

SPORTSbyBROOKS just tweeted this...

I can confirm there will soon be new, major allegation involving child sex abuse in Sandusky case. Told tonite it could come before Saturday.

 

Followed by this...

If what I was told tonight about the details of the new allegation in Sandusky child sex case is true, it will horrify the public.

Your last sentence is not true at all. At least not in many places. I don't know if it's true in Pennsylvania or not but I doubt it is.

I'm not really even sure how something like that could be made up. Wow, I think that would definitely classify as "more horrifing".

It's true in most every court in eastern Kentucky I've been in. The cops are always approached here before a plea deal is reached. It was the same when I practiced in north Mississippi. The prosecutors will go on their own if necessary but they will always try and seek the cops approval first. A lot of it is because of how closely tied police are to the DA's offices. Most good DA's know they can't afford to tick the cops off, or it will hurt them in their ability to prosecute other crimes.
